Looking for a good alternative to Xpres super flex, suitable for intricate work and needs to be overlaid.

Any suggestions?

what about that vinyl company we saw a Fespa? I think they were called HEXIS. I do not know much about vinyl but I seem to remember that you and Jason thought it was pretty good.

Also, I was speaking to Target yesterday as there is a new print and cut transfer vinyl they have which sounds good and very thin. They might have the same as straight vinyl.

I am waiting on a sample roll, once I have it I will let you know the name.

For detailed work I used Target premium but have now switched to Magitouch 123 flex. The premium has a super sticky backing good for detailed work and the 123 isnt as sticky but weeds like a dream. Best to request samples from both companies and test for yourself :)

The premium from Stahls (Target in the UK) is super for this work. But make sure you ask for the version with the stick carrier or its a pain to weed. Dont know about the 123 flex.
Hexis, I believe, only do sign vinyl.

Hexis also do garment vinyl now as I went to the same show as socialgirafe, I think its a fairly new product from them though but not too sure. Got a sample sheet somewhere but haven't had a chance to test it yet.

I thought Hexis only did sign vinyl, sorry. Here is their link to their Textile range.
